Is it time to start planning a telesummit?
Are you wanting to grow your email list? Did you know that telesummits are extremely effective lead-generating events?
Now, I’m not saying this is something you can pull together in a few weeks and make a big bang. But done right….you can add TONS of people to your list. And lately with so many unknowns in the world, it doesn’t seem like we can depend solely on social media. So an email list is important!
The number of emails you add to your list really varies with each summit. It depends on the guest speakers you have, the subject, and how much work you put into it.
And let me tell you…it is work! But the end result is worth sooooo much! (Plus a virtual assistant(like me) can help you through it and make it as successful as possible!
So questions people ask:
1. What IS a telesummit?
I like to go to Wikipedia and get that answer :-)…A Telesummit is a series of teleseminars held over the course of multiple days with multiple experts talking about a specific topic, generally in an interview format.
Also from Wikipedia: Teleseminars provide an opportunity for a host to provide information to a large number of people at one time. It allows a trainer to train many participants at once, one on many rather than one on one.[3] These conference calls are typically recorded. There’s typically a fixed period of time devoted to the presentation of information followed by another fixed period of time for questions and answers.
2. What are the benefits of a telesummit?
- Networking with other experts in your niche
- Exposure to a larger audience
- Increase in your email list number
- Increase in warm leads.
- A great time to launch a new product or service
- Positions you as an expert in your field
3. Ways a virtual assistant can support you from beginning to end to plan an extremely successful summit:
- Create an opt-in page including speaker info
- Create thank you page
- Schedule emails
- Create individual speaker pages
- Create social media image for each speaker
- Social media services
- Proofread & test the entire process
- Speaker management
- Editing and prepping videos/audios to professional quality.
- Full support from beginning to 2 weeks after the event is over.
Hosting a telesummit sounds scary, but I assure you I have supported 30+ telesummits and done right, with experienced support, it can run smoothly and have amazing results.
